Create your own inmate from scratch and rub shoulders with up to fellow convicts throughout the sprawling prison complex. With each passing day, every action taken and every word spoken will sculpt your own unique identity – as you attempt to juggle the physical and mental demands of prison life. You’ll soon find that ” reputation ” is the only currency that matters in this world! Having one keeps you alive, but avoiding one keeps you sane.

Which side of the fence will you fall on? Contains acts of extreme violence. Requires a PC compatible with DirectX graphics. Vista users may experience difficulties on “limited accounts” and are advised to run the program as an “administrator” It comes in a fully decorated jewel case, complete with a pull-out instructions summary and exclusive bonus material – including source code extracts, graphical templates, and demos of all previous games.

The product ships from California USA, so please anticipate shipping costs and delays for international orders. Carefully slotting all the cells together and sealing them behind bars was a logistical nightmare – so much so that the game couldn’t afford for them to be kitted out with anything more than the beds and a few lockers!

Fortunately, this is one location that isn’t supposed to look appealing – so I could get away with murder pun intended Let There Be Light More stimulating surroundings can be found elsewhere.

In addition to the 4 prison blocks, there are 7 additional novelty locations – a large “Main Hall” that lies at the heart of the building, an outdoor “Exercise Yard” where you can improve your body, a “Study” where you can expand your mind, a “Workshop” where you can make things, a “Hospital” where you can keep your health in check, a “Bathroom” where you can get some privacy, and a “Canteen” where you can eat.

Moving from one location to another simply involves walking repeatedly against the relevant door – although some loading is required as in Wrecked to help the game cope. It’s worth waiting for this time though! The scenery in this game boasts more attention to detail than ever before, and ensures that each room is better than anything you’ve seen in previous games.

Not least because there’s a new lighting system that actually emits light from the various bulbs and fittings rather than using one all-encompassing source like the sun It makes the fighting a little stiffer than wrestling fans may be accustomed to, but exploration becomes more important in a concept like this.

Most locations have interactive areas – such as chairs and beds – that can be accessed by repeatedly walking against them much like the doors. To return to your feet you simply press any direction again, and can then carry on strolling around the scene.

Meanwhile, the camera constantly follows in the most appropriate way possible. Instead of offering you a wide range of optional camera angles, this game uses one preset “over-the-shoulder” angle for movement and then automatically lurks closer when you’re performing automated tasks – such as working or resting Fighting The fighting controls should be a little more familiar, because they’re almost identical to what we saw in World War Alpha!

The same network of upper attacks, lower attacks, big attacks, blocks, and stomps, returns to let you vent your fury on your fellow inmates. However, one major difference this time is that grappling moves have joined the system! It’s the first time we’ve seen them since the last wrestling series, so everything here is brand new. Most noticeably, the fact that the shoulder-to-shoulder tie-up has now been replaced by an instant headlock.

Whenever you reach out and successfully grab a victim, you immediately wrap your arm around their head and hold them captive. From here you can then trigger a small range of basic throws and crushes these guys aren’t pro wrestlers after all! Another modification is that punching and kneeing your headlocked opponent is now an instinctive choice rather than a preset animation.

Every time you press the attack button, you throw out a solitary shot before returning to the hold. This means you can choose how many hits you score, and can even use them as a prelude to a bigger move!

With A Little Help From My Friends In addition to boasting the largest population of characters that my games have ever required, Hard Time also blesses them with revolutionary new artificial intelligence. Previous games had limited the idea of relationships to one particular friend and one particular enemy, but here every single character has their own unique history with every other character! The result is that you can build up a network of dozens of friends and enemies – and become embroiled in the tangled relationships of others.

It’s no empty gesture either. Your relationship with other inmates seeps into the way they treat you, and even LOOK at you – with scowls for enemies and doe-eyed affection for friends. As if that’s not noticeable enough, friendly characters even stop to wave at one another when they haven’t seen each other in a while!

It can be annoying when you’re in a hurry, but you’ll find it helpful to know that friends are nearby Murder Ink The surest way to guarantee yourself some friends is to join a gang! Gang membership goes beyond the casual relationships you have with other characters, and locks both you and your comrades into a powerful family. They’re not easy to infiltrate though, and generally require that you prove yourself to be an asset to the team and a good earner.

There are 6 separate gangs in total, and each has its own agenda – which you may or may not be compatible with. Meanwhile, “The Dark Side” fly the flag for black culture and seek to usurp their white oppressors. In addition to these racially motivated gangs, there are 3 other more universal gangs. And finally, “The Peaks” are the only friendly gang – who welcome all on the path to rehabilitation, but honour a strict behavioural code.

If you look closely, each gang proudly wears its own range of tattoos – but to help you identify them at a glance they also have different styles of dress and ostentatious accessories that they wear Look Who’s Talking Although they can be influenced by your actions, most rivalries and allegiances stem from your conversations with others. This game uses a unique promo system that unfolds in real-time – allowing you to have conversations with anyone, anywhere, at any time!

Once you’re in close proximity of another character, there are literally hundreds of things that they might confront you about – ranging from bold statements to multiple-choice questions. Each has its own unique effect on your progress and mental status – such as making you happy when praised or unhappy when criticized.

Rather more importantly, your reputation is also at stake when making decisions. Complying to an unreasonable request may save your skin and make you an ally, but it’s also seen as a sign of weakness and damages your status.

Whereas standing your ground and making tough decisions will earn you some respect. In fact, your reputation determines which subjects are likely to come up in the first place. As in real life, other people tend to leave you alone and even suck up to you if you’re seen to be powerful – whereas docile characters are prime targets for bullies Men On A Mission Your fellow inmates aren’t the only ones that can offer food for thought.

For the first time in my games, storylines can also be triggered by inanimate objects – such as tanoys that make announcements and phones that wait to be answered in the main hall. They’re the game’s goodie bag – giving you the chance to receive progress-boosting offers in amongst the inevitable wrong numbers!

The most intriguing of them are little “missions” – which are not only a fun distraction, but can also earn you extra money and valuable reputation points. There are dozens of them to come across – ranging from delivering messages to whacking a specific character. And even more assignments can come from your fellow inmates – not least from gangs who consider it your responsibility to do their bidding. Even the wardens get in on the act by setting you certain self-improvement goals to reach – but doing what they say is more likely to damage you rep than improve it!

They do have the power to shave precious days off your sentence though Dead Or Alive You’ll soon find that surviving in prison is a delicate balancing act. What makes you popular with the cons makes you unpopular with the wardens – and vice versa!

If you “lose your mind” you will break down and will temporarily lose control of your character almost certainly getting into trouble! You can improve it by fighting or lifting weights.

You can improve it by jogging in the yard or scoring baskets. You can improve it by reading books. It can be improved by accomplishing tasks or intimidating others. There are also opportunities to earn money – whether you work for it with a broom, trade items at a profit, or run with a gang.

Having money increases your opportunities to grease the wheels and make your life inside easier. You may find that you need to go to the toilet from time to time, in which case you must race to the bathroom!
